NORFOLK — That Old Dominion would struggle offensively at times this season was a given. The Monarchs have few natural scorers and must spread the floor, drive, pass and most of all, convert opportunities. When they don't, results such as Wednesday are inevitable. ODU battled and stayed close, but the College of Charleston's size and key plays down the stretch were the difference in a 51-44 victory at the Constant Center. "A little bit like a broken record," ODU coach Jeff Jones said.

In the 11th and 64th minute, Chris Albiston sandwiched Tribe goals around a pair by the Cougars.

The challenge: Redo a narrow strip of lackluster land between neighbors. The result: A thriving garden with an entry and private outdoor living space. Recently, Marilyn and Bill Geib took on the project at their home in Williamsburg. Inspired by visits to gardens in Charleston, S.C., Italy and Colonial Williamsburg, they wanted something more than just a row of Leyland cypress separating their small lot from the house next door. "This was a relatively unique project in that it encompassed a small space with a towering nondescript neighboring wall," says Bill.

Colleges: Men's basketball: The Colonial Athletic Association might be losing a head coach soon.

Colleges: Baseball: CAA: William and Mary regained its offensive mojo in time to keep its season alive, bolting to a 10-run lead in a 12-6 victory Friday night that eliminated Colonial Athletic Association tournament host UNC Wilmington and advanced the Tribe to the championship round. The Tribe (34-21) would've preferred to enter the finals as the unbeaten team, but the College of Charleston 's Bailey Ober didn't let that happen. In the day's first contest, he pitched a complete game for the win as the Cougars beat W&M 3-1 . Charleston, in its first CAA season, will have two chances to win the title, starting at 1 p.m. The Tribe must beat the Cougars twice -- W&M is 1-3 against them this season, all in the past week.

Baseball: In a 23-inning duel, the second-longest game in NCAA history, William and Mary lost 3-2 at the College of Charleston on a walk-off single by Morgan Phillips. It came off Kevin Casey, who started the game at second base and rarely pitches for W&M. The Tribe, which scored in the first inning and the 20th, retains two more chances to beat the Cougars and win its first CAA regular-season title. Because the game went so long, the teams decided to play a doubleheader at 1 p.m. Saturday instead of Friday, as planned.

WILLIAMSBURG - Even in the best of times, William and Mary has had trouble sustaining prosperity. A signature performance too often was followed by a letdown. Conference winning streaks were rare. Similar disappointment appeared possible Monday night. Two days after a gut-check, buzzer-beating win at Drexel, and with a visit from league leader Delaware looming Wednesday, the Tribe found itself trailing College of Charleston by double figures. But William and Mary found traction at both ends of the floor in the second half and sped past the Cougars 74-63 at Kaplan Arena in a game that further displayed the Tribe's mental toughness.
